Grace Church Stockholm Weekly Sermons

Today’s premiere of the "Help My Unbelief" series gives a clear, rational case for trusting the Bible beyond circular arguments, explaining how it was transmitted and why it still matters.
James outlines five key reasons for confidence: the large number of early manuscripts, high textual agreement, short gaps between originals and copies, support from archaeology and non-Christian sources, and eyewitness proximity — with Jesus presented as the historically grounded center.
This teaching also addresses common objections (fabrication, contradictions, ethical concerns, and the canon)

Our friend, Tom Scrivens, leads Hope Church Ipswich. In this encouraging message, Tom reminds us to live ready for Jesus' return. To understand there is a great reward to pursue in our lives devoted to Christ. And when Christ returns, that reward will be with him. Tom shares a very exciting perspective on the wedding culture of Jesus' day, and it offers new freshness to anticipate that wonderful day when Christ and his church share in the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Steve finishes this series on spiritual maturity, using the seven characteristics of living organisms as a framework to examine our spiritual health. He discusses practices like prayer, scripture, confession, and knowing our identity in Christ. Through it all, love is the predominant sign of growing in the Spirit of God.

James leads us through Ephesians 4, urging us to live a life worthy of our calling by pursuing unity, spiritual maturity, and personal purity. His message highlights humility, patience, and the church's shared hope in Christ.

Phil Whittall explores the idea of an "architecture of holiness" and how God shapes our lives through time, space, and spiritual practice. Using five building blocks—learn, receive, hear, see, and practice—he encourages us to grow in Christ through Sabbath, community, the Spirit, and intentional habits.

Phil Whittall teaches us about the biblical theme of "God with us" from Genesis through the stories of Abraham, Moses and Gideon, and into the coming of Jesus as Immanuel. God’s presence brings comfort, rest and strength even amid suffering and doubt.
We will hear how Jesus and the Holy Spirit make God present in our lives, invites listeners to trust in that presence, and offers a simple call to ask for the Holy Spirit and live in the assurance that God will not leave us.

Andreas Frankner, paster of Korskyrkan sthlm and a missionary with decades of experience, speaks at Grace Church Stockholm about Psalm 126 and God’s promise to restore and bring harvest. He shares testimony from revival in Russia and calls us to pray, sow, and be ready to reap the harvest in Stockholm.
We explores themes of sowing and harvesting, the work of the Holy Spirit, and receive a hopeful invitation to prepare hearts and communities for spiritual renewal.

The elders of Grace Church share encouragement about testimony, community care, and the church's plans, inviting members to give and celebrate what God has done in their lives.
Phil teaches how meals and hospitality tell the gospel story—especially at Christmas—and urges us to welcome others to our tables as a simple, powerful way to share God’s grace.

Steve Ferris explores the life of Jonathan, son of King Saul, focusing on his remarkable faith and loyal friendship with David. From his daring attack against the Philistines to his courageous trust in God and his sacrificial support of David amid Saul's jealousy, Jonathan's story models faith, humility and steadfast love. There are practical lessons about obedience in small acts, strengthening others in the Lord, and how Jonathan’s example points to Christ, encouraging us to be faithful friends who live out a bold, active faith.

James continues to trace Saul’s fall from a promising, anointed king into disobedience, foolishness, pride, jealousy, and ultimately violence.
He highlights key incidents in Saul’s life, draw practical lessons—especially to guard your heart and repent when self comes first—and points us to the true King, Jesus, as the model of humility and obedience.
